dc.description The purpose of this study was to examine the income generating activities in public primary schools and their contribution to school funds. The study was guided by Resource Dependency Theory (RDT). Mixed research approach was used. The study employed close-ended questionnaire, structured and semi-structured interview, observation and documentary review as the data collection methods. The sample included 61 informants comprising of District Primary Education Officer, 30 head teachers and 30 teachers who are the IGA coordinator. The findings of this study indicated that; sheep keeping, chicken keeping, crop cultivation, horticulture and burning brick were the key IGAs in public primary schools. The findings indicated that IGAs played a significant role for the provision of additional funds to schools for buying the teaching and learning materials and for provision of pupils‟ meals. However, lack of education on the type of IGA that were established and poor climatic condition were the main challenges that affected the growth and development of IGAs in the visited schools in Busega. The study recommends that for a success of any income generating activities in public primary school in Busega, there is a need of frequent training on the IGAs to the educational stakeholders at the school level.
